Technically one could hijack DBus and intercept whatever it's sending to the stock app and handle it in Sociality, but that's not my speciality, maybe ask qole ;)

Hmmm that is a good idea!

The only thing needed to happen for this to work is to STOP the stock facebook interfering and opening along with Sociality :p

Ill drop Qole a lil message to pop on this thread and see if he can provide any insight :)

Such as opening up contacts facebook links OR when we click on something from the Feeds screen?

I would prefer fMobi to open up everything facebook related as it is just the most feature full facebook client we have for our phones ATM, although Sociality will most likely end up being the best when everything is finished!

This idea is similar to have a different default browser, possibility of a default facebook/twitter app to view tweets or friends statuses?

Same applies for Twitter, how do I switch the Stock one for Qneptunia and still get Twitter update on Feed Screen / Events View? Tired of getting one message twice. Sorry to Hijack Godofwar!

can't you just disable the built in twitter account? isn't that a viable way to replace facebook too -- just have the app write to the events view and disable the existing one from updating it?

Yeah, its jusa case of asking the Developer of Sociality (MAG) an the developer of Qneptunea to implement such a feature.

You can delete your Facebook account on Accounts application and minimize sociality.Sociality is not depend on your Facebook account on Accounts.It would disable the stock Facebook's feeds.

I didn't use Qneptuna but that would be great some feature like running daemon on background and adding feed to events.

Re: Replacing Stock Facebook!
 
I saw this thread yesterday and I was wondering about using symlinks or similiar to do this.

I.E. replacing /usr/bin/facebook-meego or /usr/bin/facebook-starter or /usr/bin/Facebook with a symlink that points to the fmobi binary.

As I see it this has a potential problems in the OS executing a command such as /usr/bin/Facebook some-command and fmobi not knowing that command. But the limit of my knowledge was coming up with this idea, I'd be willing to help experiment if someone will point me in the right direction if this is even possible.

Only problem with that is that the UI is CLOSED source :(

so we can't do any such editing :(

Why not simply delete the stock facebook from your phone, and use an alternative app that sends notifications to the feed, etc.?
